Genetic information	A coding sequence for the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was inserted in frame by homologous recombination in ES cell 3' to the coding sequence for thyroid hormone receptor alpha 1 (TRa1). In vitro, the TRa1-GFP chimeric protein transactivates reporter genes in transfection experiments with an efficiency similar to that of the wt receptor. In the genetically modified mice, the targeted allele is transcribed into a RNA of a size expected from the genetic alteration; however, no RNA with the potential to encode the TRa2 isoform is generated.
Phenotypic information	The heterozygous and homozygous mice express a TRa1-GFP chimeric protein, which localizes to the nucleus in the mouse. Both the heterozygous and homozygous mice show a normal phenotype. No alterations have been detected in the following parameters: - levels of T3 and T4 in serum - postnatal growth rate - lean and fat body mass - organ weights - behavior as assayed by the SHIRPA primary test The mice are quite useful for detecting expression of TRa1 in mouse tissues, especially as no/few reliable antibodies are available.
Breeding history	Chimeric founder mice were bred against C57BL/6NCrl and the offspring was subsequently crossed with EIIa-Cre mice for removal of the Neo-cassette. Heterozygote offspring was intercrossed to generate mice homozygote for the TRa1-GFP protein or backcrossed against C57BL/6 for three generations and then intercrossed.
